In Mayor Bill de Blasio’s 2014 “Housing New York” plan, the administration promised to increase the supply of housing for seniors by reaching 15,000 households through a combined effort of new construction and preservation. In 2017, the administration doubled this effort, aiming to serve 30,000 units over an extended 12 year period. The administration has made progress towards this goal; several sites throughout the city, including a vacant lot in NYCHA’s Bushwick II campus, are currently in the RFP process and have stipulations for minimum residential senior units. Community members and elected officials called upon the administration to deliver on its promised targets by utilizing additional vacant NYCHA lots throughout the City. However, they stressed that these lots should be dedicated to the construction of deeply affordable and senior targeted units. In light of our City’s rapidly aging population, it is more crucial than ever that we invest in affordable senior housing.

Manhattanville and Grant Houses in West Harlem have a new touchstone, a specific moment to organize their collective memory, a way to divide their lives. Just a month after the New York Police Department conducted the largest raid in the city’s history, the residents who experienced it have a way to refer to their lives in clear “before and after” terms, like old historical abbreviations B.C. and A.D. converted by Web2PDFConvert.com In the Manhattanville and Grant Houses there was life before The Raid and life after The Raid. Life has gone on, but it has changed, residents and activists say. To them, life after The Raid has borne witness to undeniable changes. Crime is down, the streets are calmer, the sound of gunshots have, for now, been quieted. “Residents feel better about where they live now, about their homes,” said Sarah Martin, 77, who until she resigned on June 16 was for 25 years the General Grant Houses Resident Association president. “They feel like they were expecting a long, hot summer and now they feel it will be problem-free, at least for awhile.” But for many residents of the two public housing projects, especially families of the arrestees, it has been a disorienting period.
